"Dead Forest," Southern Tip of the 1975-1976 Tolbachik Eruption, Kamchatka, Russia [00:20]
The pyroclastic cloud from the 1975-1976 Big Fissure Tolbachik Eruption burned the Larix cajanderi (Cajander Larch) and Populus suaveolens (Mongolian Poplar) trees. The cloud came from the top, so the trees were not blown down. The poplar trees grow quickly, some forming large leaves. The dead larch trees still stand 35 years after the eruption because its wood is strong and heavy due to impregnation with resin and oxidation. A few of the larger trees with deep roots survived. Woody plants such as poplars, Salix arctica (Arctic Willow), Pinus pumila (Siberian Dwarf Pine) and, less commonly, larch are reestablishing the forest. In 30 or 40 years, there will be a new forest.

Plosky and Ostry Tolbachik, Kamchatka, Russia [00:39]
Plosky (foreground) and Ostry (background) Tolbachik viewed from a Mi-8 heliicopter. They form a single unified structure on an ancient shield volcano 22 km. in diameter. The slopes of the truncated cone Plosky Tolbachik are deeply eroded and cut by numerous dikes. Prior to the "Big Fissure Tolbachik Eruption" of 1975-1976, there was a lake of liquid lava in this caldera. The lava lake disappeared and a new caldera formed in its place which was covered with a glacier until the latest eruption. A new eruption started at Plosky Tolbachik on November 27, 2012 from two fissures and cinder cones are forming. Video taken with a Nikon D7000 on Sunday, July 31, 2011.
